Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.124 - Lady Nobility

The nighttime scenery in one of the Great Cities of the Song empire made many people open their shops when the sun had sunk. The city was always decorated by red, gold and white lights making the city view beautiful.

For example, like a luxury restaurant that is visited by many visitors even though the night is getting late. The restaurant had four floors, but the first and second floors did not seem to be enough to accommodate their guests.

Some choose to eat out because they cannot afford to order tables on the third and fourth floors that are expensive. They were willing to wait in line for a long time at the restaurant because of its famous delicious and unusual cuisine.

The restaurant provided a wide variety of stealth meat that they caught, the price of the stealth meat was quite varied, depending on age and how difficult it was to catch them.

Among all the frenzy on the first floor, a young girl escorted by several warriors seemed to break through the queue, the girl quickly climbed upstairs afterwards. In addition to the bodyguards, the young girl was also accompanied by a middle-aged man who seemed to be 54 years old, she was seen to have a high standing in the City.

"Isn't that the mayor? Who's the girl next to him?"

"A few months ago he had already gotten his third concubine, could it be that he wanted to marry the girl as well?"

"So your mouth! I heard that girl is the representative of Su noble, it seems that she came to take over this City."

The twenty-year-old young girl only ignored all the expressions that were fixed on her. Her pretty face lifted slightly upwards, as if showing herself to have high arrogance.

The tables on the fourth floor seemed to be filled only by a few people, most of them wealthy merchants and some first-class warriors who had more sustenance.

The bodyguards who came first to the fourth floor then gave off their bullying aura, signalling for the people on the fourth floor to leave immediately.

The fourth floor had been silent for quite some time, naturally they were shocked because suddenly the aura of intimidation pressed down on their bodies without any warning. However, it didn't take long for the bodyguards to provoke the anger of some swordsmen on the fourth floor.

"What does all this mean? Do you want to get in a ruckus?" snapped one of the warriors while getting up from the chair and pounding the table in front of him. He stared intently at a guard not far from the stairs.

The strength of the bodyguard and the swordsman was equal at the level of a first-rate swordsman, making them clash an aura of intimidation with each other. While the merchants around them began to feel tightness and difficulty breathing.

"What are you doing? Do you want to make a fuss in front of Miss Su?" The mayor immediately restrained the bodyguard's hand as he was ready to draw his sword.

The bodyguard panicked a little, he immediately took a few steps back and bowed to apologize.

"Ah, Miss Su. I'll sort things out here." Mr. Mayor smiled stiffly, he condemned the actions of his guards who were too reckless.

The noble girl Su just nodded slowly, she then immediately picked one of the sizable tables that were near the stage of the music players.

"I'm sorry for the commotion that just happened, I'll compensate you Mr and Mrs. But, will you and Madam let us wear the fourth floor for tonight?"

Mayor Hong Jitei's words sounded so sweet, making some people who had previously been offended feel better.

One by one the people on the fourth floor immediately descended after getting their money back, they were people with vast knowledge in this empire. They knew that the Su nobles had quite a high standing, so they chose not to get involved with the girl's entourage.

"Miss Su, let's continue to discuss the agreement beforehand.." Hong Jitei appeared to be smiling widely, both of her hands rubbing against each other. Hong Jitei sat across from the girl, while the guards stood behind them.

Su noble girl named Su Anna did not reply, her attention was locked on a young man enjoying his sweet iced tea in the corner. Su Anna seemed to blush a little when the sight of the two met, but if he saw, the age of the young man seemed to be far below him.

Hong Jitei followed the direction of Su Anna's gaze, the veins on her temple twitching as soon as she saw a young man who was indifferent to their presence. Hong Jitei signaled through his eye movements to get rid of the young man to his men.

"Ah Miss Su, we better order some food first, this restaurant is famous for their very good food."

After leaving the forest Fu Chen did not want to rush to return to the sect. He intends to take a break and try some new things.

Fu Chen also searched for some information from the conversation of the people there. At least Fu Chen could tell that this restaurant was managed by the Black flow organization.

Fu Chen had examined the food, and indeed there was no poison or anything like that that made him suspicious. Perhaps this restaurant is one of the organization's businesses, regardless of the Black label they bear.

Fu Chen was quite satisfied, the expensive price of the food was really worth the taste. The enjoyment grew even more as Dou Huang stuffed a few small chunks of ice into his teabag.

Fu Chen also heard those people start talking about the Holy Sword sect. Unfortunately he could not hear the whole information due to the presence of some bodyguards that made a fuss.

Fu Chen simply observed their movements, until when the people on the fourth floor dispersed themselves one by one. Not long after, several bodyguards were seen walking to him.

"Young man, didn't you hear the Mayor's request?" asked the guard leader in a tone of provocation.

Fu Chen only glanced at the few bodyguards for a moment before returning to enjoy the view of the city from behind the window, his mouth continuing to sip the sweet iced tea that was about to run out soon.

"Don't know yourself! Go while I speak!" The bodyguard began to show his sword sheath, a sign that he was not playing games.

Srruuup! Srruup! Scroup-!

"Ah is this over?" Fu Chen shook his glass left and right, he had only first consumed a cold drink like this because it was quite difficult to find chunks of ice in the Song empire.

The bodyguard grew even more annoyed that his warning was ignored by the boy, with a quick movement he pulled and drew his sword down Fu Chen's neck. Highlight his eyes were sharp, as if wanting to tear apart the young man before him.

"This is the last warning! The girl there was a family member of one of the five great nobles. If you still don't give him face then you'll deal with me!"

"Hmm.." Fu Chen raised his eyebrows, glancing at the blue-clad woman who was eating food, far in front of the room. The woman also occasionally stole a glance towards Fu Chen.

"After all, I am also a guest and it is only natural that guests should be properly served. Do you want to ruin the image of this restaurant by driving away customers? You also asked me to give the woman face, have the noble families lost their face?"

Fu Chen chuckled softly, he held the tip of the guard's sword with his index finger and thumb. Fu Chen slightly twisted his finger, intending to snatch the guard's sword but the sword suddenly let out a small cracking sound.

Fu Chen widened his eyes and immediately pulled his hand back, he himself was quite surprised by it, lucky that the crack sound was not so loud that the bodyguard did not notice it.

'Haish.' Fu Chen smiled bitterly inwardly, whereas he had only exerted a little energy before.

"What are your subordinates doing there?" Su Anna glanced at Fu Chen, "Hong Jitei, I came here out of respect for your invitation, don't make my taste crumble just because of the commotion they made!".

"But Miss, I'm afraid that person will eavesdrop on our conversation-!"

"Don't take care of anyone else when your own business isn't done!" Su Anna looked at Hong Jitei, the way she sat so gracefully, even her eyes still displayed calmness after saying so. It was enough to make Hong Jitei lower her head.

'Shit! I will kill that boy when they come later!' Hong Jitei bit his lower lip while glancing at Fu Chen sharply, he did not want his plan to be uncovered just because of the existence of a boy.

The bodyguard who was still in dispute with Fu Chen gave a rude snort before he finally left. Fu Chen only smiled obliquely, then again enjoyed the moonlight that hit his face.

It seemed like Fu Chen needed to stay longer in this restaurant, he vaguely felt a killing intent from another room on the fourth floor. Maybe one of the noble girl troupe was planning something.
